For a moment I considered removing them - then i was like - this is my website, and I decide what to put in there, not Google. If Google doesnt like it, so be it :). The approach has served me very well - PR be damned. Those who know me know where to reach me hehe :D S I stopped bothering about Google ever since they started demoting Text link ads.
